The Ghana Police Service has rescheduled the full implementation of its automated traffic law enforcement programme, TRAFFITECH-GH, from October 1 to November 1, 2026.

The Service, through the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), said the extension is intended to allow for more public awareness and education on the programme before its full rollout.

TRAFFITECH Enforcement: What motorists need to know before October 1

According to a statement issued by the Police Public Affairs Directorate on Tuesday, September 29 2026, the additional period will be used to educate motorists on the operations of TRAFFITECH-GH, the traffic offences it will detect and the Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) to be issued to offending motorists.

“The rescheduling is to allow for more extensive public awareness and education on the programme, including its operations, the traffic offences to be detected, the Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) to be issued to offending motorists,” the statement said.

The Police said TRAFFITECH-GH forms part of efforts to address indiscipline on Ghana’s roads and improve compliance with road traffic laws and regulations. The Service has therefore urged motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to use the additional time to familiarise themselves with the programme ahead of the new implementation date.

“The Ghana Police Service, therefore, urges motorists, drivers and vehicle owners to take advantage of the additional period to familiarise themselves with the programme ahead of the rollout,” it stated.

The automated traffic enforcement programme is expected to support efforts to improve road safety by detecting traffic violations and issuing electronic notices to motorists who breach road traffic regulations.

The Police also expressed appreciation to the media for supporting the introduction of TRAFFITECH-GH and said it remains committed to working with relevant stakeholders to ensure its successful implementation.

“The Service is grateful to the media for the unflinching support throughout the introduction of the project, and remains committed to working with all other stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of TRAFFITECH-GH for improved road safety,” the statement added.
